I can post up a referral code from me from oneplus.com (Get 20€ off on accessories and gear when you purchase a OnePlus smartphone), not sure if its on Boards policy or not (admins can you confirm or do you want a separate thread)

not familar with these codes, is this a once off code just for one person to use or can everyone(except me) use it?

Please don't post referral codes in this thread. The threads for the OP3 and OP5 turned into a mess with everyone posting their referral links.

Maybe open up a new thread for referrals and delivery/shipping posts.

Anyone aware of any downside to buying one in Canada? My OnePlus 3 works fine when I'm over there, assume the OnePlus 6 bought there will work on the 4g bands here

Its $529 in us and €519 here??? Why is it cheaper in the states?($529 = €450 at current rates)

VAT is the reason...

Plus the US price doesn't include Sales Tax, which is applicable if purchasing in certain states.

So any reason I shouldn't buy it from the US website?

They probably won't accept a delivery address to outside the US.

If they do, shipping will be expensive and you'll end up getting hit for customs that would be €100+

Can i get an aftermarket charger for the oneplus6 that charges at the same rate as the official dashcharger (extra one for house and also for car charging)

whats the difference in speed between a normal charger and a dashcharger?

No you can't, the chip in the charger knows when it it plugged into a One Plus device and initiates the dash charge

Hi,
I am planning on buying this phone. I understand it comes with a charger and a charging lead.
I always buy a case and I usually buy a car charger so I will probably buy those again.
Is there anything else I should be buying. I don't understand the need for the screen protector. Why is that recommended? Anytime I had one on other phones they fitted poorly and looked terrible. Do they not take from the screen?
Also, some people seem to recommend extra cables but if you only have one charger what good is the extra cable?
Tia.

Just thought I would post that it looks like the OnePlus 6 isn't capable of streaming Netflix and other drm apps in 1080p (Doesn't include Youtube). The op5 etc was similar and you had to send your device back to get the software updated to be able to use 1080 (Widevine DRM Level 1.. op6 is currently Level 3). Bit weird.

Got a source? Number of reddit posters (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/8juu4c/what_are_you_eager_to_know_about_the_oneplus_6/dz317h8/) saying that they asked at the launch event and were told no issues with widevine L1 having asked explicitly. Couple of accounts of issues on the Android P beta alright, but then you can expect temporary gaps in betas......

"Security level L3"

Lets just hope it's not all the phones, and they don't force people to send the phone back again like the 5s to get the L1

Interesting. Did your friend take that image themselves, and if so how did they come by the phone/software to get it? Or indeed if it's not their image, do you/they know the origins of it are trustworthy?

Still don't know if this question would put me off buying the phone as it's a big step up from my aging G3 (which often auto closes spotify if I so much as open a browser ), and they do have their 15 days free returns that this could arguably be grounds for availing of....

ordered mine and a flip case, the order section is empty , but i have a confirmation email

same here shopping cart empty every time but when it went through had 4 phones added to the cart

which one you ordered? ended up going for the Midnight Black 8GB RAM + 256GB Storage just because of the storage

midnight black 8GB 128GB , thought it was worth it for the 50euro more, plus i got the case for "free" with a voucher

should had ordered the screen protector

flip case on my oneplus2 saved my screen for 3 years, so should be fine (hopefully)
